ISE-Logomark-Small-Color.pngReflection 5 - Typical Host Families


Individual time needed: 60 mins

Do you think there is a “typical” family in the country you are going to?


Make a list of what a “typical” family is like in the US and compare it with what you think the “typical” family is like in the country you are traveling to.




















  • Can you identify any stereotypes in each of your lists? If so, which ones?
  • What might be a challenge you could face if you meet your host family believing they will behave according to a stereotype?
  • What is your plan for overcoming the temptation to judge your host family based on stereotypes?
